Jobs vary by scale, needs, and time. Some can be accomplished in a day or two, such as clearing away debris after a storm, and others can last months, such as new construction. The timing of a project can be a little unpredictable, and while we all want to snap our fingers and have the work done, the reality is it takes as long as it takes.
Some projects will inherently take up more time than others, as is the case for demolition and remodeling projects. Trash It recently oversaw a long-term dumpster rental project for a general contractor working in Union City, New Jersey. As this project found, relying on one dumpster rental company over a multi-month period ensures a fluid process and allows contractors to do their best work.
A Larger Project Calls for a Larger Dumpster
Trash It offers dumpsters in three sizes: 10 yard, 20 yard, and 30 yard. As a large-scale demolition project, the Union City team needed not one but two 30 yard dumpsters, which each carry 30 cubic yards of trash, each month. To put that in perspective, one 30 yard dumpster is roughly the size of a two-car garage. A 30 yard dumpster rental can carry four tons of trash, which works great for projects that will have a higher volume of trash, common in collecting demolition debris.
A Container for All Kinds of Trash
The Union City general contractor had a number of subcontractors, including framers, electricians, and plumbers. This means they needed a rental that could hold many different kinds of debris. Trash It’s 30 yard dumpster rentals can handle most materials, including walling, wooden planks, foliage, trash, cables, and more. This makes them perfect for demolition projects, which normally involve a large amount of mixed materials all being thrown out together. (While these dumpsters can handle a lot, it’s important to note they cannot be filled with any asbestos, flammable materials, tires, batteries, firearms, or hazardous waste, as is the case with most dumpster rentals. The disposal of such illicit materials incurs greater fees.)
Seamless Exchange of Dumpsters for Project Efficiency
In order to maximize efficiency, the Union City project needed to swap out two dumpsters each month in order to clear them and make room for the next batch of debris. This speaks to the scale of the project, and also how Trash It assisted in emptying out the rentals on schedule so the general contractor could continue the work in a timely manner.
